Hope my American friends can enjoy what sadly as a English Citizen I am not privileged enough to experience


Yeah that's pretty bad, no logic behind it.  Oh btw, there is no such thing as an English citizen. :P

European players causing lad wouldn't really be a bad problem. If there were players connecting from some other planet then the lag would be a problem, but the distance over Atlantic Ocean is so short that Europeans don't have so bad ping they'd really lag in a game like Mabinogi.

It's done because someone thinks they can make more money by opening servers with IP bans than by opening servers without IP bans. Purely for profit.

you can tell how big of a deal it is with some shooters when you see a bunch of players lag and then the server crashes

Its a problem even if you haven't experenced it

back in the old days of mmos large pvp fights would crash servers alot

Now if you add on a guy who the server has to wait for responses from because he is connecting from further away, if the server is not prgramed right it will lag waiting for info when enough of this builds up the server crashes

So yeah players connecting to a game not set up to handle them is a problem and does lead to both lag and even crashes

While the game or servers can be programed around this most the free games arent or wont just because of man power time money

Secondly Nexon stated they have the contract only for NA. Remember even if they have a nexon branch in another counrty its likely lisensed in that country and for tax and other proposes they are completely different companies even if one owns and started the other.

That means the US Nexon company only holds a contract for a NA release as posted on their website and cant let you in even if their european or malayian counter parts have contacts

Thats just how the world works

WTH is wrong with Hotspot!!!

No that means you have either no reallife and played more than 12 hours a day or you simply forgot to turn hotspot off and exceeded the transfer limit of 5 GB data.

 

Which does not matter anymore since nexon banned all Hotspot shield VPN IPs two days ago.

 

Does anyone know of an alternative prog to mask an european IP as USA?
